Roberts: $9 Billion For Livestock Producers

ROBERTS: $9 BILLION FOR LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS
“OUR CATTLE FEEDERS HAVE BEEN HIT VERY HARD,” SAID ROBERTS. FUTURES PRICES FOR MAJOR COMMODITIES, INCLUDING CORN, SOYBEANS, WHEAT, CATTLE, AND HOGS, FELL SHARPLY AS THE CORONAVIRUS SPREAD WORLDWIDE.

Out of the $23.5 billion earmarked for agriculture in the latest coronavirus relief package, “I think at least $9 billion will be going to livestock producers,” said Senate Agriculture Chairman Pat Roberts on Wednesday. During a WIBW Radio interview, the Kansas Republican also said that Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue would disburse coronavirus funds before deciding if a new round of trade war payments is needed.
